Let me start by saying I'm loving JUDDD ! One Sunday it would mark my first week and so far thing are going ok. I haven't binged and my DD are getting better. One thing that I haven't is workout. I do nothing but clean, do my walk when I need to do food shopping, and when I go to the mall.

I want to know is it ok to just focus on my eating and not so much on the working out?
I'm I still going to lose weight without working out that much?

I just finished my first two 2 weeks with no exercise beyond normal activity. Frankly, the energy levels most days was pretty low but that is beginning to change. Johnson said you will still lose if you don't exercise. I personally believe energy begets energy so intend to begin daily walks and gentle stretching this week to start the process.

The bottom line is do what feels right for you. If you haven't exercised in a while, start slow.

for me, exercise is important for my mental health/mood, and also fitness/health... from what I read, diet is the huge factor in weight loss, not exercise (although it can be really helpful in maintenance, it seems), so I would say it depends. I find I feel better, more upbeat, more capable/strong when I exercise... especially if outside, and/or with others, and/or with good music ...

I do very little exercise. I believe it's important for toning and keep "planning" to incorporate it, but for me, if it's not fun, I just won't do it. When I do exercise, it's roller skating, or taking the dogs for a walk, that sort of thing. I've lost plenty, so I know it's not necessary for weight loss, but it still is important.

Having said that, I lost most of my weight this time by just focusing on losing weight. Not exercise.

After I lost 30 pounds I hired a personal trainer and really got into intense weight lifting and lots of cardio. It really trimmed and toned and made me feel great, but didn't help with weight loss.

I've been slacking off the exercise for months now. I just don't feel motivated. When I do exercise it's water aerobics although I keep telling myself I'll get back to the gym soon.

We have been traveling a lot. I do a lot of walking when I'm out of town. But I hate working out in hotel gyms if they are dark and dingy.

This week I'm packing for Hawaii. My exercise will be playing in the ocean and walking the beach walk on Waikiki. Maybe I'll climb Diamond Head if I feel ambitious.

I read an article by Dr. Oz and he said if you can only focus on one thing at a time for weight loss, it's better to focus on what you eat. You eat to lose the weight, you exercise to tone the body and keep the weight you lose from coming back.

I agree with what others have said, Exercise is not what helps you lose weight. For years I ran and ran and ran to try to negate what I was eating. I didn't lose anything, if anything I gained. I was running 30+ miles a week. Now I walk and do JUDDD and I am losing. FACT, for me, it is what goes in my mouth, not how much I move. That being said, I enjoy exercise. I now walk 25+ miles a week! LOVE IT!

I have read perhaps 5 different studies saying basicly that exercising in the fasted state is best to both reduce insulin resistance and burn fat. So I would think perhaps exercising
an hour or longer before your first meal of the day on your UD might be best. I will list
one of those studies but as I said there are a lot more that say about the same thing.
